This course provides students with the tools and techniques to tune
the performance of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
Version 7.0 (WAS ND 7)

As typical of all our middleware courses, the course material follows
a “Do-it-yourself” approach and provides all the necessary instructions
and sample code to setup your lab, try out tuning tasks and learn. In
short, this course is a highly practical course which teaches
performance tuning by example.

Something unique about this course is the 145 slide Power Point
pack which covers WebSphere Performance Tuning best practices and
theory.

The following topics are covered:

Performance tuning process

How WAS processes requests

Tools that can be used to measure and tune performance of WAS

Tuning JVMs, Thread pools, Connection pools

Tuning session/replication/persistence

By completing this course, the student will be able to judge the
impact of changing major WAS parameters on performance, understand how
the various WAS components are inter-related and use various thumb rules
to quickly bring WAS to optimal performance levels.
